[quote author=”Alcyone”]Is there a way to achieve RDS with stereo tool 6.21, Breakaway and still have stereo sound? When I enable it my sound ouput is in mono.[/quote]

Sure is. You can either use StereoTool or AiroMate (http://www.diffusionsoftware.com) to create the RDS service. Output either of the programs into one of Breakaway’s Pipeline (eg: Breakaway Pipeline 3) and have that nominated as the RDS input.

Remember – RDS output is techically adding to the output MPX, and it will appear MONO when you listen to it directly. To take a listen to your MPX audio output in stereo, output Breaway into a spare Breakaway Pipleline and use Leif’s MPXTool to monitor it.

What you need to understand is Breakway will throw away all of the audio content, take the RDS data and regenerate it onto the Breakaway MPX output, so that both the 19k pilot tone and 56k RDS pilot are "in phase". Hence do not waste CPU power doing audio processing in both StereoTool and Breakway. Breakway’s audio output is what you will end up with!

Not sure why you are using StereoTool (which can do processing, MPX creation and RDS insersion) when all you need is a RDS creation tool. I have found AiroMate just as flexible and (from memory) slightly cheaper.
